Journal overview

The Journal of Psychology (founded in 1935) is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes empirical research, theoretical articles, and selected reviews in applied areas of psychology (other than applied experimental or human factors), including:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Counseling Psychology
  • Cultural Psychology
  • Economic Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Ethics in Psychology
  • Family Psychology and Couples Psychology
  • Forensic Psychology
  • Health Psychology
  • Industrial and Personnel Psychology
  • Professional Practice
  • Psychology of Religion
  • Psychotherapy
  • School Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Sport Psychology

In addition to publishing manuscripts that have a clearly applied focus, The Journal of Psychology solicits interdisciplinary research that integrates literatures from psychology with other related fields (e.g., occupational health, consumer behavior, law, religion, communication, and political science) in a meaningful and productive manner. Multidisciplinary authorship is encouraged, as is work that fosters novel ideas, identifies mediating variables, includes transboundary issues, and most importantly, encourages critical analysis.

Periodically, the journal will announce a call for papers for special issues. The journal will also entertain unsolicited proposals for special issues that fit the stated scope of The Journal of Psychology (please contact the journal’s Executive Editors with a detailed description of your proposal).
